1756 The Show Begins 4 (1/2)

”Gu Xin Yan! You are Gu Ying's younger sister, do you think anyone will believe your words?” The youths from the Dragon Slayers Palace immediately accused Gu Xin Yan of merely trying to get Gu Ying off the hook.

Gu Xin Yan then said without the slightest change in her expression: ”Whether I am to be believed, is not to be decided by just you and me. When I met with Zhuge Yin yesterday, quite a number of people saw it. They can be witnesses to what I've said.”

The youth from the Dragon Slayers Palace obviously did not believe Gu Xin Yan's explanation but the Pure Grace Palace's Elder went around to ask, and managed to get affirmations from quite a number of people who had indeed seen Gu Xin Yan and Zhuge Yin strolling in the garden.

With that, things had suddenly become rather strange.

The Dragon Slayers Palace's disciples were insistent that Zhuge Yin had never left his room the whole of yesterday and so it was impossible for him to have gone to meet Gu Xin Yan. And on the other hand, Gu Xin Yan had pulled out a group of witnesses who saw her meet up with Zhuge Yin with their own eyes, which washed off all suspicion from Gu Ying.

Both sides were unwilling to relent and they very nearly broke into a fight right there in the main palace hall.

The Pure Grace Palace's Elder was at that moment feeling highly confused. If this incident was irrefutably committed by Gu Ying, then things might be a little easier to deal with. At least the Dragon Slayers Palace would turn their target fully upon the Blood Fiend Palace and Gu Ying, and how they wanted to seek justice against Gu Ying, would be a matter between just the two palaces alone.

But now, just the point on whether Zhuge Yin had left from his room had already mushroomed with so many different variables, making it impossible for anyone to firmly pin the crime onto Gu Ying.

If things continued on like that, the ones implicated would not simply be just the Blood Fiend Palace and the Dragon Slayers Palace, but even their Pure Grace Palace would not be able to wash their hands off from it!

Afterall, Zhuge Yin was killed in their Pure Grace Palace, and the reason for his death could not even be ascertained. In this situation, the Pure Grace Palace would then naturally incur the wrath of the Dragon Slayers Palace, and the Blood Fiend Palace would surely be displeased that they were implicated in the incident, and blame the Pure Grace Palace for handling the matter badly.

At that moment, the highly ambiguous situation with two completely contradictory views quickly dragged the three palaces into the muck.

In the palace hall, the Dragon Slayers Palace's disciples and the Blood Fiend Palace's disciples were engaged in a heated argument and Gu Ying stood in the middle of the hall with a cold expression on his face, his heart rising with a chill.
